Where is the epicenter of the decline in US life expectancy?
The so-called "alternative" media seems curiously interested.
In a commentary I wrote a year ago based on an article I cited from Our World in Data, I highlighted the role of drug overdoses the recent overall decline in US life expectancy.
To explore this decline in life expectancy on a more granular level, I compiled this dataset from Our World in Data. A crude analysis of age cohorts from 10-79 reveals noticeable spikes in death rates that occurred around 2020-2021:
When the data is limited to ages 10-44, the surge in deaths diminishes for cohorts below the age of 25 and disappears entirely for ages 10-14:
Unsurprisingly, the 2020-2021 surge persists in all the highest age groups because older people were alleged to have been at a higher risk of dying from the “novel” virus:
However, the peak is even sharper in young to middle-aged adults, and even more surprisingly, the upwards trend in these age cohorts started at least four years (blue arrow) before the alleged “pandemic”:
In sharp contrast, there is no upwards trend in the oldest group prior to 2020:
The trend in the younger cohorts is all the more stunning when expressed in terms of percent change since 2010 because for ages 30-39 (green and purple lines) it nearly doubles in 2021:
However, even the 2021 peak for ages 65 and older never exceeds 20 percent over the 2010 baseline. This is surprising because these groups were regarded as more vulnerable to the virus:
These images beg the following questions:
The mainstream media attributes this drop in life expectancy to a “novel” virus, but if this is correct, why did this trend start around 2014-2016 for ages 25-44?
Large swaths of the “alternative media” attribute increased death rate among working-aged adults to mass transfection of the population in 2021, but if this is correct, why did these young to middle-aged adults already experience a higher percent increase in death rate before the transfection was made available to them?
To reiterate: The oldest Americans were alleged to have been most “at risk” of dying from “COVID”, but if this is correct, why did the excess death rates for ages 65-79 stubbornly remain below 20 percent while nearly doubling for ages 30-39?
If the surge in death rate in the younger cohorts was caused by the consumption of illicit drugs, how did ages 30-39 end up with a higher rate of overdose deaths than their 25-29 year old counterparts?
Is the near doubling of the death rate for ages 30-39 the epicenter of the US decline in life expectancy?
This chart from the Visual Capitalist shows declines in US life expectancy that coincide with the aforementioned 2016-2021 increases in the death rates of Americans ages 25-44. Notably, the downward trend that started in 2016 was disrupted by a 2019 “recovery” prior to the massive decline that occurred in 2020.
Did a curator of this data shift some of the 2019 deaths to 2020 to reinforce the illusion of a deadly pandemic? Just sayin…
In the 1973 dystopian thriller Soylent Green, chief of police Hatcher orders detective Thorn to close an unsolved case that had all the hallmarks of a high-level assassination. After Thorn questions the moral integrity of his boss, Hatcher cynically reminds him; “You’re bought as soon as they pay you a salary”.
Though I can sympathize with people who occasionally look the other way in order to keep their jobs, I have nothing but contempt for the online influencers who take money to obfuscate or lie about why people died. Among the most depraved are those who make up almost the entirety of the so-called “alternative” media, because like scammers who target the poor, they cater to vulnerable people desperate for answers after having seen friends and loved ones murdered or permanently damaged under the “pandemic” countermeasures.
Clergy who define the sin of sloth as “resistance to the demands of love” have a moral duty to call out the evils of social media in how it cultivates a slothful blindness in users trapped inside an algorithm-generated comfort zone of personalized propaganda. Faith alone might save your soul, but how many undiscerning believers guided by faith alone liked or shared an online post that assisted the godless forces behind the democide that killed around half a million Americans from 2020 to 2024? If you rely on social media for your news and never asked yourself whether or not you had ever been played, then you are being played.
